New Neighbors Near Bhanuswari Resort & Spa

A new villa was recently completed near Bhanuswari Resort & Spa. As neighbors, Bhanuswari management and guests were invited to attend the Balinese Hindu ceremony for blessing the house.

Here's the approach from Bhanuswari. The new villa is just on the other side of the small waterfall.




The proud owners, being welcomed to Tengkulak village by I Nyoman Suweta, the "bandesa adat" (traditional leader), who is also the Managing Director of Bhanuswari.
The owners seated for the ceremony - and you can see the priest with the full white headress seated past the owners. And Bapak Ngurah is sprinkling holy water - he was also the general contractor for the construction.









Detail of the bowl containing holy water (previously blessed by the priest) and the flowers used for sprinkling it. You can also see an offering in the niche in one of the gate pillars.
